Cloud DNS hosts authoritative DNS zones and answers queries through Aptranet nameservers. Standard record sets can be extended with traffic-selection policies and endpoint health.

Resource model

Capabilities

Authoritative zones

Create zones, configure SOA behavior, control status, and review delegation.

Record sets

Manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA, PTR, HTTPS, SVCB, and DS data.

Traffic routing

Select answers by weight, country, continent, region, ASN, prefix, coordinates, or fallback.

Health and analytics

Exclude unhealthy answers and inspect query volume by record type.
Creating a zone does not change public DNS. The zone becomes authoritative only after the parent delegation points to the nameservers returned by Aptranet.
